My thought too. Having every 3rd post be an ad gets old, and the realities of how shitty a platform it is will set in quick. Plus old.reddit is next. Many people in the browser still use that. The future of RES is also in question.
Can you imagine having to use new Reddit and not having RES? only thing that'll be missing is the popup that says to turn your ad blocker off...
Yeah, but that was when you could make someone else mod and they didn't have to accept. One of the mods did that to him. Once he learned about he, he left the position and they pushed out a change shortly where you had to accept the mod position. People did it to troll others, specifically like that.
No mistake, no love lost on him, but he was a mod as a joke, and he removed himself when he was aware of it
Makes sense! Thanks!
I guess; but there is literally always the possibility that any satire goes over someone's head. That would have every comment beyond just stating fact ending in /s.
/s, because I don't mean literally every comment, I'm exaggerating for effect.
But I agree to a point. It's real shitty that it's even an option for people to think I'd support Nazis.
Cooool, I was wondering this. I had been curious if it was 1 party or 2 party federation; so someone can defederate, but it doesn't "block" receipt of content, only the interaction with the blocked platform?
You don't have a lemmy account, but kbin gets content from lemmy pushed to it. So you can subscribe to subs that are on Lemmy. That doesn't mean you can't sub to the kbin equivalent; in due time, both may have a memes sub. But if you prefer lemmy over the kbin, you can see and interact with that lemmy content from here on kbin. You don't need to be on Lemmy to do it, the instances are federated.
Likewise, say in the future a sports-only instance is created. It exists solely for sports headlines across all the leagues of the world. It is way better than content on kbin. If kbin federates with that group, you can see and interact with that content.
Say there is a group that doesn't meet your instances ideals. They like to be inflammatory and provocative because they can. Your instance can not federate with them, so you won't see that content when viewing the All section of your instance. Likewise, they won't be able to interact with content you post. This prevents brigading and intermingling of groups that would only argue and conflict.
You can enjoy all the content of any federated instance from whatever platform you want.
Lmao inb4 I'm branded pro-Nazi within 3 days of joining kbin. Definitely not!
Never change ~~Reddit~~ kbin
AFAIK it is only lemmy.world and SJW, but I mentioned kbin because it was another instance that was receiving a lot of new users along with those other platforms.
That was my point lol
"Pro-business", as long as the business exists to extract as much profit as possible from consumers.
I'm getting a little bit mixed signals, as it seems beehaw mods are little quick to moderate users, which to be fair, you specifically signed up for. Beehaw can moderate how they want. I think it's just partly because so many came at once, people filtered to what was available regardless of if they agreed with the platform rules heavily or not. You just went where you went to get in. It'll get sorted eventually
I always had a decent mix of subs. Large ones for content consumption; smaller ones for discussion. Even then, the large ones I interacted with were further fragmented (big example being sports game threads, it was usually only fans of the two teams). Hoping to find that here; that is a beloved part of watching sports for me now.
